Inns in Shandong, China

Hotel is located in the middle of an attraction and therefore accessibility’s limited. It’s not near any subway station nor the main room, so you need to call the hotel to pick you up when you’re checking in with luggages. Location is good though, it is near all the main attractions and we basically walked to all the attractions (20k stepso a day though). Room is a little small and heater is not consistent. The view that greets us every morning when we are going out is lovely though, since the hotel is located inside a lovely lake. Breakfast is nothing much to shout about.

Honestly, it was pretty mediocre. I thought it was located inside Baotu Spring Park, but it's just a standard Chinese hotel. It's wild how much some B&Bs charge these days; this place was so expensive, and the facilities didn't match the price at all. The decor was no better than a budget hotel like Hanting or 7 Days Inn, which cost a fraction of the price. The room was tiny, and worst of all, the air conditioning was broken! I set it to 0 degrees all night, and the room was still 29 degrees. I was so hot I couldn't sleep a wink. I guess the only thing worth the 600 yuan was the window view; everything else was a letdown. For this price, I highly recommend staying at the InterContinental, Shangri-La, or Hyatt nearby instead.

Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good

The hotel is conveniently located near Zhanqiao Pier, and it's just a 7-8 minute walk to Qingdao Railway Station, Metro Line 1, and Line 3, making getting around super easy. We booked two king-size rooms for three nights. The rooms were quite spacious, and the hotel has a lovely German-style aesthetic, with grand pianos in the hallways, which really sets a nice mood. There are also plenty of dining options within walking distance. I highly recommend it to friends if they ever get the chance to visit.

Cleanliness: We stayed in a twin room. The room was clean, and the bathroom had a well-designed wet and dry separation and a smart toilet. The bedding was dry and comfortable. Environment: The room offered a view of the courtyard, which was very pleasant. There was a tea table, lots of greenery, and a lovely layout. Service: Excellent! Very friendly. The staff were very kind and helpful. They even asked about the cable car schedule for us and encouraged us to set off soon! 😘 We slept soundly after our hike. The courtyard was quiet, the room was clean, and the bed was just the right softness. Everything was great. We loved the elegant courtyard! 🥰 There's a parking lot and charging stations outside, making it very convenient for those driving.

The hotel is located in the northeast corner of Daming Lake. Stepping out the back door, you're right at the lake. Just a few meters from the back exit, you can see the Superb Pavilion across the lake, which is absolutely beautiful. A 10-minute walk around the lake will take you to the South Gate. Across from the South Gate is Qushuiting Street. Following this street leads directly to Furong Street, and then Baotu Spring. The hotel's location is excellent. The environment is also fantastic, featuring a tatami area. Sitting on the tatami, sipping tea, basking in the sun, and gazing at the lake feels incredibly relaxing. The service attitude is great too; any issues brought to the front desk are actively addressed and resolved!

The store is very enthusiastic and will introduce nearby attractions, where seafood is cheap. Very ancient homestays have characteristics and are highly recommended. The homestay is located in the scenic area of Dongyi Town, within walking distance to Ocean Park and Wanpingkou Beach, it is especially convenient to walk to the surrounding attractions. As soon as you enter the door, you will be attracted by the antique courtyard, and the room design is retro and quiet, which makes people relax instantly. Health is particularly good, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the sleep is very fragrant. The homestay is very close to the parking lot. It is very convenient to park at the Hampton by Hilton. It is also very convenient to take a taxi and electric car rental. A few steps out is the snack street and Wenchuang Museum Street. It is very pleasant to walk for food at night. Overall, the location is excellent, the environment is elegant, the facilities are complete, and the service is thoughtful. It is a choice of accommodation that you don't want when you come to Dongyi Town. Next time you come here to play, you will definitely choose this.

The inn is located in the Mingshui Ancient City Scenic Area. Check-in and check-out are handled at the visitor center, and daily needs are handled by the guest room staff. When checking in, you can ask the visitor center to check your luggage to the inn, and explore the scenic area by yourself first. The inn is located at Hehua Pier. You can take a boat there for free. The boat ride takes 20 minutes. If there are few people, you have to wait until there are enough people before sailing. If there is a free scenic spot bus, Quanxiu Station seems to be quite close. If I am impatient and don’t want to wait, I can use Amap to navigate ten You can get there in just a few minutes. Don't use Baidu Maps, as the location is not accurate. Staying at Zhaobi Inn will give you VIP tickets for Quanxiu. We arrived at the stands at Quanxiu Square 1 hour before the show. The grandstand is in a 2-story room opposite the stage, and there is a staircase to go up to it. If you can't find one, you can ask the staff with the sign. We watched the Yi An Poetry Club and Quan Show in the first row on the second floor of the grandstand, with wooden benches. The dances of the Yi'an Poetry Club will be blocked, but it will not affect the cross talk and interactive games of the Poetry Club on the second floor terrace at all. The performance of Quanxiu shows the side view of the dance, but the drone performance, lighting effects, fountain and flame effects are very close. Please note that if you sit in the first row, you will get wet. If you are concerned, don’t sit too far forward. I think it is quite fun. of. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, iron flowers and drone sky lanterns were launched into the sky. This is the second time I watched Iron Flower. The performance was quite long. Three groups of masters performed Iron Flower in Dongmawan. The masters work in groups of two to make molten iron. You can watch the movements of the master's hands. The first one scoops up the molten iron, and the second master pours it out. So you can predict where to take pictures based on the movements. Zhaobi Inn also gave us a ticket to hang the Kongming Lantern with wishes, but it didn’t indicate on the ticket that the last hanging time was actually around 19:20. The time written on the ticket said the event started at 19:45. Fortunately, we arrived at 19:15. You can remind guests to arrive earlier next time. The room is well-equipped, the hot water heats up quickly, and there are plenty of places to hang clothes. The water provided is the Baimai Spring brand, but it doesn't taste special. The room is on the second floor and requires stairs. The design of the rooms and inn is antique, you can check in here. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first floor of the inn also serves as a performance stage. Breakfast is included when you book the inn. You can choose to have breakfast at any shop on the snack street, or you can choose your own breakfast at the Nobo Inn restaurant. The breakfast at Yefang Inn is vegetable salad, boiled eggs, and meal kits. We first had breakfast at Yefang Restaurant, and then after walking around, we went to Quanshui Mutton (which is also one of the optional breakfast restaurants in the snack street). We shared that we cooked mutton one night and added our own seasonings. The breakfast at Nobo Restaurant is friendly to dieters. The portions of salad vegetables are large, and the salad dressing is served separately. You can choose how much to add. Spring mutton has a little fat, so those who are averse to eating fat should choose carefully. The light-flavored mutton is delicious with a little salt and cumin. The bulubulu spray of Baimo Spring is very high during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The amount of water in Yamen and Meihua Spring is also very large, almost catching up with the waves on the beach. When we arrived around 9:00, no one was playing. Touching the spring water and listening to the sound was really healing. You can watch a few more shows in the morning before checking out, so don't rush out. There are not many people here in the morning, and the commercial atmosphere is not strong. Among the ancient towns I have visited, it is the most willing to spend a morning strolling carefully. The most recommended attractions in the scenic area are Baimo Spring, Plum Blossom Spring, Yamen, and Li Qing Photography.

Location: Located almost in the middle of the old town, very easy to find, and not far from anywhere, especially close to Fuxing Square (the venue for the fireworks show). 😉 Environment: There's a small courtyard with a swing, quite rustic, and a friendly stray cat. The rooms, though small, are clean and hygienic, though there might be mosquitoes in the summer. The only drawback is the slightly poor soundproofing; a pair of earplugs would solve the problem perfectly. 😎 Service: Customer service adds you on WeChat in advance, providing reminders and allowing you to ask questions directly. They also provide a printed guide map, marking important performance locations and times. ☺ There's a restaurant downstairs, and there are discounts for guests! I tried a few local specialties, and I highly recommend the duck egg rice noodles and mutton soup (I forgot to take pictures). 😰

Facilities: Very good, with all disposable utensils. The room was equipped with mineral water, and because it was so hot, the front desk guy even gave us chilled water. Cleanliness: The room was very clean, and the bedding wasn't damp. Environment: The ambiance is truly five-star. (｡ò ∀ ó｡) The quaint courtyard building is located in the ancient city. We rented traditional costumes for the children and went back to the inn specifically to take photos. ✪ω✪ There's a very affectionate cat in the lobby. I heard my wife is back home to recuperate after childbirth. My daughter loves the wall of books. She'll pick up a couple of books before heading out. This is an artistic, retro little inn. I love the only lemon in the yard. Everything is just perfect! Service: I have to give a huge shout-out to the excellent guy at the front desk. The inn has its own parking lot, but it's a bit difficult to drive into, so he went out of his way to get us there. Since we were elderly, infirm, and had children, he even helped with our luggage. You can add the inn's WeChat account, and they'll send you tips on the ancient city. You can ask for more details. He also recommended delicious shaved ice and barbecue. One morning, when I went to get breakfast because it was incredibly hot and I was in a hurry, he even lent me his electric scooter. Thank you so much! After checking out, if you need to stay in the lobby, you can rest there. What a thoughtful person! Highly recommended! 5 stars!!!
